I'm waiting KDE 4 to start learning how to code for QT, I've tryied once but I was lacking the necessary skills (C++), even like this, I found that Qt3 was great. I belive Qt4, even more thanks to the Windows GPL version will rock more and more.

There is no need to wait for KDE4 for that.
Just go and start learning Qt4 right now :-)
When KDE4 comes out you already know Qt and can start coding for KDE4 right away. You can even help with KDE4 if you want.
I'd suggest to learn Qt before diving into KDE technologies anyway, so don't lose time! ;-)

I din't said I HAD to wait, but that I WILL wait, hehehe.
Once KDE4 is out binaries for Qt4 will be out for major Linux distros and it will be much easier to program using it.
But yes, there is no need for wait, you can compile Qt4 by hand or install the win32 version, it's just I'm too laizy for that ;)

I doubt a little bit that you will become a great developer, if the lazyness starts here already, but you could install SUSE Linux 10.0. Qt4 packages do exist there. Now you have no further excuses anymore ;)

I like to lay back a bit and survey the field; this can appear to be laziness. Since he is busy with other, more important matters (like working to feed himself and passing his exams,) there is nothing wrong with waiting a bit to see how things develop. In the meantime he can start with reading QT 4 documentation.

I'm not sure I'd want to go to SuSE 10.0 just to get QT 4. SuSE Pro 9.3 is very stable. I downloaded QT 4 and built it on SuSE 9.3, but then encountered some incompatibility with KDE.

"I doubt a little bit that you will become a great developer, if the lazyness starts here already".

You know, it's not that I'm lazy at all, but I'm lazy at learning Qt4 because I have still to graduate on computer science, work to pay univercity, admin a cluster...
So, in the moments I have free, yes, I'm a hell of lazy ;)

When I stared _really_ using Ruby I was amazed, clean consistent and powerfull.
And the community around it is great!

To say that "ruby sucks" might be a good way to keep it hidden from the masses a bit longer.

I think they haven't updated the documentation. If you look at the URL, it still says 4.0. I don't know if they change the documentation for minor point releases. Can't wait to try this out once I have a fast internet connection again.

I downloaded the open source edition for windows, and using Qt designer if you drag windows across the widget toolbox for example, it becomes sluggish and there is a white region where the window is redrawn (slowly).

Very dissappointed with the speed on windows. X11 speed seems ok (with Qt 3 - can't get that much slower though can it?).

And no there is nothing wrong with the machine. No font issues, no driver issues, and it is a fast machine (1.6 GHz/700MB RAM), so it is just Qt being slow.
